It's worn on the pinky finger of the working hand so that it drags across your work, serving as a constant reminder. It doesn't smudge, it just presses against your skill all the time. That's also why it has the rugged "hammered" look. It's rough because the ring is not jewelry, it's meant to be rough to remind you of the symbolism.
